A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are options for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, large cavity, failed root canal, trauma or other reason. All Omaha Family Dental clinics offer dental implants.
Healthy Gums and a Healthy Smile! Periodontics includes the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gingiva (gums) and bone. The word periodontal means “around the tooth” and healthy gums fit like a cuff around each tooth. Where the gum line meets the tooth, it forms a v-shaped crevice known as a sulcus. When these gums become damaged by periodontal disease, it becomes more difficult to practice effective oral hygiene as they harbor and promote the growth of harmful bacteria. These damaged compromised gums can lead to bone and tooth loss. At Omaha Family Dental we work hard to educate you on the importance of healthy gums and we promote healthy gums by twice yearly tooth and gum cleanings.
Crowns: A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth-colored) crowns are the most popular, because they resemble your natural teeth. They are highly durable and will last many years but, like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color of your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting, beautiful smile.
Bridges: A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth permanently to adjacent teeth. We offer bridges at all our clinics at Omaha Family Dental.

Root Canal Therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function.
Having a root canal done on a tooth is the treatment of choice to save a tooth that otherwise would die and have to be removed. Many patients believe that removing a tooth that has problems is the solution, but what is not realized is that extracting (pulling) a tooth will ultimately be more costly and cause significant problems for adjacent teeth. Root canal treatment is highly successful and usually lasts a lifetime although, on occasion, a tooth will have to be retreated due to new infections.
Signs and Symptoms for Possible Root Canal Therapy: An abscess (or pimple) on the gums, sensitivity to hot and cold, severe toothache pain, sometimes no symptoms are present, or swelling and/or tenderness.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain designed to cover the front surface of teeth, enhancing their appearance. They are used to improve the color, shape, size, or alignment of teeth, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Veneers are bonded to the tooth’s enamel, providing a durable and stain-resistant solution that mimics the look of natural teeth. They are an excellent option for addressing issues like chipped, discolored, or slightly misaligned teeth. While highly durable, veneers may need replacement after many years, depending on care and usage. Porcelain veneers are crafted to match the unique characteristics of your teeth, ensuring a seamless, long-lasting, and beautiful smile.
